What hay costs in Kansas
BaleWise tracks 32 hay sellers in Kansas — 19 with listed prices, verified July 27, 2026. Every price is normalized to true cost per US ton (2,000 lb) so a heavy bale and a light bale compare honestly.
Small square bales run $222–556 per US ton across 9 priced listings, with a midpoint of $286/ton. Sticker prices run $5.00–$12.50 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Round bales: $56–194/ton across 10 priced listings.
